For the first time ever, ALL of Stan Lee&rsquo;s groundbreaking, legendary \u201cStan&rsquo;s Soapbox\u201d columns from 1967 to 1980 are collected in one edition, published by The Hero Initiative. Stan\u2019s Soapbox: The Collection will be available in both comic stores and bookstores everywhere in November, 2008. The Soapbox columns will even be\u00a0presented in a<!--more-->\u00a0historical context, so you can immerse yourself in the flavor of the day, and get a sense what was happening right outside Stan&rsquo;s window when he penned &#8217;em. Some are poignant, some informative, some touching, and some funny. But they&rsquo;re all memorable! In addition, a bountiful bevy of celebs also write about their most memorable columns, including:<br \/>\n\u2022 Marvel Editor in Chief Joe Quesada<br \/>\n\u2022 Marvel Studios President of Production Kevin Feige<br \/>\n\u2022 Former Marvel Editor in Chief and comics historian Roy Thomas<br \/>\n\u2022 And a vast variety of great names from the fields of comics,<br \/>\nliterature, politics and academia<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00ab\u00a0Wow! What a kick it is for me to see all my old Soapbox columns printed in one great volume!,\u201d said Stan Lee. \u201cReading them now is like taking a trip back through the history of Marvel in those great ol\u2019 days when the fans and I would rap about how our batty Bullpen was exploding with new heroes, new villains and more far-out, fun-filled, fantastic new ideas than you could shake a radioactive spider at! And, best of all, every Stan&rsquo;s Soapbox book sold means more money for the great Hero Initiative cause. No wonder I\u2019m so proud of this book and the cause that it serves! Heck, I might even buy two copies!\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coming in at an amazing 144 pages, this full color trade paperback will retail for $14.99.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strictly to helping comic book creators in need.
